What tools do you take on a two day XC? - Mike

I have a canvas tool bag that includes:
An ACE hardware 1/4" drive socket set
A crescent wrench
A set of combination wrenches (box and open end)
Screwdriver with two sizes of phillips and flat head bits
Two stubby screwdrivers, phillips and flat
Small conentional and needle nose vise grips
Tire pressure gauge
Vacuum pump wrench
Safety wire wrench and safety wire
Multimeter (volt, amps, ohms
Bicycle tire pump

I also carry some spare parts, just in case I get trapped at an out of
the way place:
V-belts for the generators
Spare vacuum pump
some day want to get a spare starter
Several quarts of oil

This list looks good - IF _ you're flying a Beech Super E-18 , or
something like that.
In my RV-4 I have one of those leatherette shave kit bags with
pliers,small vise grips,a 1/4" drive ratchet with screwdriver bit
holder and multiple types/sizes of bits,a lightweight plug-in bit
screwdriver(from Wal-Mart),an 8" Crescent wrench,small bit of safety
wire,roll of plastic tape,small aluminum angle pair of wheel chocks
and a few paper towels(No toilet paper needed).
With a 2" Velcro on the bottom and a matching strip on the front
tunnel top it stays put(while right side up).
